Open Sky, the sixth
full length album from Mothboxer, is the follow up to 2017's Secret Art Of
Saying Nothing. The record contains 12 tracks written and recorded on and off
over 12 months, expanding on the power pop sound of the previous releases and
venturing into a new, progressive pop/rock sound. "Dave Odys
outfit stretches into some of the most creative, expression-filled songs of its
long history on an album steeped in clever songcraft. A coming together and
pulling apart experience built around surprising chord changes and elastic
melodies, set against primarily alternative instrumental backings, Open
Sky is aptly named. Because the canvas on which Ody is working is
open and expansive.Sunshine Sound
leads the pack as a slow-to-mid tempo song set sound-wise vaguely in the Beach
Boys Holland era. Songs like We Could Be Right bristle
with an inventive melody and chord structure, ending in a guitar/drums battle.
A number of songs fall directly into each other: All that Goes Around
connects to Never Enough, an atmospheric ballad with lots of air and breathing
space, which hits into Million Miles Away, perhaps the most immediate
sounding song on the album, a piano-based tune with harmony vocals that shine.And theres more, many more delights to be
discovered on this latest collection, including a song just added to the album
at the very last minute because, well, its a late-blooming keeper with a
great, catchy chorus. Its a thumper with a great melody, and its called Five
Long Days.Open Sky is a keeper, and just may be Mothboxers
best."
